Thai Actor Keng Hrit Hospitalized With Throat Infection, Attends Kathin Ceremony

Thai actor Keng Hrit has revealed details of his recent hospitalization due to a bacterial throat infection, while his partner Nam Phing voiced deep concern. The couple served as joint hosts for their first Kathin merit-making ceremony at Wat Pa Nong Waeng Phonthong in Khon Kaen, accompanied by the cast and crew of their series 'Khemjira Tong Rod'. On October 28, 2026, 'Keng-Nam Phing' attended the Vivo V80 Launch Event at Royal Paragon Hall, Siam Paragon, where they discussed their merit-making trip — planned long in advance — which Keng attended despite not having fully recovered, praying for better health.

Keng updated fans on his condition after admission: a severe throat inflammation from bacterial infection that left him voiceless with a 38-degree Celsius fever. He admitted trying to better balance his workload after an exhausting previous year filming 'Khemjira' followed by back-to-back projects.

In an interview, Keng described the illness as fluctuating but said he now feels more balanced. Doctors diagnosed bacterial throat inflammation, possibly from unclean water, unwashed hands, insufficient rest, or weather changes. He remains on medication and is adjusting his work schedule.

Nam Phing said he was very worried, knowing Keng's health isn't robust and their packed schedule takes a toll. When Keng was admitted, Nam Phing attended a fashion week event alone, then sent flowers for encouragement since hospital visits were restricted. He covered work duties as 'teamwork', though Keng felt guilty about missing the event and apologized to clients. Nam Phing dismissed it as an accident. Asked about his own health, Nam Phing said he remained fine despite constant close contact, jokingly suspecting 'X-Men genes'.
